ABSTRACT

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a wiring substrate from which a metal film cannot be detached easily. A process for forming a metal film comprises a step (X) of applying an agent containing a compound (α) onto the surface of a base and a step (Y) of forming a metal film on the surface of the compound (α) by a wet-mode plating technique, wherein the compound (α) is a compound having either an OH group or an OH-generating group, an azide group and a triazine ring per molecule, and the base comprises a polymer.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a process for forming a metal film, and products equipped with the metal film.

BACKGROUND ART

Plating products (for example, decorative plating products for automobiles such as emblem) of which a substrate is comprised of ABS resin (high polymer materials) have been proposed. The important property in the plating products of this type is adhesiveness of the metal film (plating film) formed on the substrate by a plating technique. When the adhesive strength is weak, the metal film is easily peeled off. It signifies an increase in reliability of the products that the adhesiveness of the metal film is large.

So as to improve the aforementioned adhesiveness, it has been proposed to form fine irregularities on the substrate surface. That is, it has been proposed to make the surface of the substrate rough. With this, what is called an anchor effect is expected, and the adhesion is improved.

The etching technique using oxidizing agents (for example, aqueous solutions of permanganate, hexavalent chromic acid, and the like) is well known as a technique of making the surface of the substrate rough. However, it is only in the case of resin having an unsaturated group like an ABS copolymer that the etching technology using the hexavalent chromic acid can be employed. For this reason, a constraint is putted on the substrate materials. In addition, in recent years, the use of the hexavalent chromic acid has been strongly regulated. This promotes a search for materials that replace the hexavalent chromic acid. However, in the current situation, no effective measure exists yet.

High integration and densification are required for the circuit substrates as the technology progresses. From this viewpoint, it is preferred that the fewer the irregularities existing on the copper foil surface of the substrate, the better. However, there are the irregularities on the metal film (for example, copper film) formed on the etched substrate surface. When the metal film (copper film) has the irregularities, a propagation distance of signals that flow on the metal film is made long. A propagation loss (attenuation of signals) is also made large. In addition, heat generation occurs. Thus, it is preferred that an irregularity degree of the metal film (copper film) is few. That is, the substrate having a small surface roughness is desired.

A semi-additive technique has started to be employed for establishing wiring circuits in the circuit substrates to cope with a resource problem of copper and a progress in refinement of wiring patterns. The substrate having a small surface roughness is desired from such a viewpoint as well.

A corona discharge treatment (or plasma discharge treatment) is known as a technique of enhancing the adhesiveness between the substrate and the metal film. With the treatment of this type, the OH groups are introduced into the substrate surface. It is said that existence of this OH group contributes to enhancing the adhesiveness of the plating film formed thereon.

However, there exists an anxiety that the corona discharge treatment (or plasma discharge treatment) might deteriorate the substrate. And yet, even though the OH groups are generated, the number thereof is not much. From this, there was a restriction to improvement of the adhesiveness. In addition, the corona discharge treatment (or plasma discharge treatment) puts a constraint to shape or size of to-be-treated substances. Moreover, workability of the discharge treatment is also not good.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION Technical Problem

This inventor thought that the adhesive phenomenon of the metal film was one of sticking phenomena in the case in which the metal film was formed on the substrate made of a polymer by use of the wet-type plating means. This inventor thought that forming an agent (for example, the agent to be referred to as a molecular adhesive agent advocated by this inventor) bonded to both of the substrate made of a polymer and the metal film on the aforementioned substrate contributed to enhancement in the adhesiveness of the metal film.

As it is, even though the compound referred to as the molecular adhesive agent was employed, the adhesive strength of the metal plating film formed on the substrate made of a polymer was not satisfied. The reason is that the molecular adhesive agent used so far presumes that the substrate surface is subjected to the corona discharge treatment (or plasma discharge treatment).

Thus, the present invention has been accomplished in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and a task thereof is to provide the technology enabling the high adhesive strength of the formed metal film to be realized even though the corona discharge treatment (plasma discharge treatment) using the etching by acid (for example, the hexavalent chromic acid) is not adopted.

Or, the aforementioned wet-type plating is electroplating. Only one of them may be adopted. Both may be adopted. Additionally, as this technology, the publicly known technologies may be adopted.

A second present invention is a product equipped with the metal film. For example, the second present invention is the functional plating products (transportation apparatuses (for example, automobiles), or wiring substrates (print wiring substrates and circuit substrates) in electric/electronic apparatuses. The second invention is design products (decorative products). This product includes a base, a compound (α) applied onto the surface of the aforementioned base, and a wet-type plating metal film formed on the aforementioned compound (α). The aforementioned compound (α) has at least one OH group or at least one OH yielding group, and at least one azide group per molecule. The compound (α) is the previously described compound. The compound represented by the aforementioned general formulas [II], [T], [III], or [IV] is employed together with the aforementioned compound (α), according to a necessity. The aforementioned base is configured by employing a polymer.

The present invention makes it possible to cause the compound (α) represented by, for example, the aforementioned general formulas [I] [Io], [Ia], or [Ib] and an amplifying agent (for example, the compound represented by the general formulas [II], [T], [III], or [IV]) to coexist on the surface of the base. And, thereafter, light (ultraviolet rays) is radiated. Or, light is radiated after heating. In the present invention, the compound (α) represented by the aforementioned general formulas [I], [Io], [Ia], or [Ib] is applied onto the surface of the base.

Conventionally, it was performed to make the surface roughness of the base rough so as to improve the adhesiveness (peeling resistance) of the metal film (plating film). That is, the treatment by strong acid such as hexavalent chromic acid and sulfuric acid was performed for the base; however the use of such a treatment was eliminated. In addition, when the corona discharge treatment and the plasma discharge treatment that have been conventionally performed prior to performing the treatment of the molecular adhesive agent is performed, there is an anxiety over deterioration in the base made of resin. However, these treatments have become unessential.

The aforementioned compound (α) is applied onto the base surface. Thereafter, light is radiated. At this time, the chemical reaction occurs between the aforementioned compound (α) and the base.

Fiber-reinforced resin as well can be listed. Rubber (vulcanized rubber) can be also listed. In addition to these, the material having a coating film containing a polymer formed on the surface thereof may be used.

It is known that the azide compound is a crosslinking agent. Irradiation of a composite containing the azide compound with the ultraviolet rays allows the polymer having a crosslinking structure to be obtained. However, it was not known whether or not the azide group was chemically bonded to the polymer (molecular chains of the polymer surface) when the ultraviolet rays were radiated in a situation in which the azide compound existed on the polymer surface.

The following experiment was tried by this inventor. The aforementioned compound (α) (in particular, the compounds represented by the aforementioned general formulas [I], [Io], [Ia], and [Ib]) was applied onto the polymer surface. Thereafter, light was radiated. As a result, the chemical reaction occurred between the azide group and the polymer (molecular chains of the polymer surface). That is, the chemical bonding occurred between the aforementioned compound (α) and the aforementioned polymer. And, it became clear that the alkoxysilyl group was present on the polymer surface. This fact was not able to be imaged from the conventional knowledge. And, the base subjected to a surface modification with the alkoxysilyl group was treated with the compounds represented by the aforementioned general formulas [II], [III], and [IV]) and silane coupling agents. With this, the adhesiveness of the metal film was improved all the more.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained from a viewpoint different from the above-mentioned viewpoint.

It has become clear that the azide group bonded to the triazine ring (conjugated system) is high in energy of resolution into nitrene. Thus, an influence by near ultraviolet rays and visible light hardly occur. For this, workability of exposure of the ultraviolet rays is improved. It has become clear that the nitrene bonded to the triazine ring is more stable as compared with the nitrene that has not been bonded. It has become clear that the bonding of the nitrene partners is suppressed. It has become clear that hydrogen abstraction activity for the C—H bonds and addition activity for the unsaturated bonds are strengthened.

The aforementioned alkoxysilyl group has been bonded to the triazine ring (conjugated system) via he spacer (for example, an amino group, an oxy group, and/or a hydrocarbon group). For this, when the aforementioned compound (α) is bonded to the polymer surface, an entropy effect for generating the chemical bond is enhanced in a contact with the metal film. An enhancement in the entropy effect causes a frequency factor term in an interface reaction to be increased after contact between the polymer (the aforementioned base) and the metal film (plating film). As a result, an opportunity of the interface reaction is increased. The length of the aforementioned spacer is reflected into an increase in the frequency factor in the interface reaction. When the length of the spacer is too long, the cost becomes higher. And yet, a reduction in an absorption quantity of the molecular adhesive occurs. Thus, the spacer having an appropriate length is desirable. The compounds represented by the aforementioned general formulas [Io], [Ia], and [Ib] were desirable from such a viewpoint.

From a viewpoint of an increase in the frequency factor term in the interface reaction, the more the number of the alkoxysilyl groups and azide groups existing per molecule is, the more preferable it will be. However, its number as well is restrained from a viewpoint of the cost etc. That is, the compounds represented by the aforementioned general formulas [Io], [Ia], and [Ib] were desirable from such a viewpoint.

The alkoxysilyl group in the aforementioned general formulas [Io], [Ia], and [Ib] is an OH yielding group (OH precursor) in almost cases. So as to modify the OH yielding group into the OH group, it is treated with water (neutral water, acid water, and alkaline water). In addition hereto, the corona discharge treatment and the plasma treatment are thinkable. However, the water treatment is desirable.

The temperature at this time is 0 to 10° C. Thereafter, a NaOH aqueous solution was dripped. With this, RDC was obtained. A DMF aqueous solution of NaN₃ was dripped into a dimethyl formamide (DMF) solution of this RDC. The temperature at this time is 40 to 60° C. With this, DAZ was obtained. Alcohol (for example, methanol, ethanol, etc.) may be used instead of the aforementioned acetone.

A THF (tetrahydrofuran) solution of the amino compound (for example, alkoxysilyl alkylamine) containing the hydroxyl group was dripped into a THF solution of cyanuric chloride under the stirring. The temperature at this time is 0 to 50° C. Thereafter, a NaOH aqueous solution was dripped. With this, RMC was obtained. A DMF aqueous solution of NaN₃ was dripped into a DMF solution of this RMC. The temperature at this time is 50 to 70° C. With this, MAZ was obtained. Alcohol (for example, methanol, ethanol, etc.) may be used instead of the aforementioned THF.

A NaN₃ aqueous solution was dripped into an acetone solution of cyanuric chloride under the stirring. The temperature at this time is 0 to 5° C. With this, ADC was obtained. The amino compound (for example, amino alcohol) solution containing the hydroxyl group was dripped into an acetone solution of this ADC. The temperature at this time is 40 to 60° C. With this, MAZ was obtained. Alcohol (for example, methanol, ethanol, etc.) may be used instead of the aforementioned acetone.

A NaN₃ aqueous solution was dripped into an acetone solution of cyanuric chloride under the stirring. The temperature at this time is 0 to 10° C. With this, AMC was obtained. The amino compound (for example, amino alcohol) solution containing the hydroxyl group was dripped into an acetone solution of this AMC. The temperature at this time is 0 to 60° C. With this, DAZ was obtained. Alcohol (for example, methanol, ethanol, etc.) may be used instead of the aforementioned acetone.

[Surface Treatment of the Base]

At first, the solution having aforementioned compound (α) dissolved (or dispersed) therein is prepared. As solvents to be employed, water, alcohols (for example, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, cellosolve and carbitol), ketones (for example, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and cyclohexanone), aromatic hydrocarbons (for example, benzene, toluene and xylene), aliphatic hydrocarbons (for example, hexane, octane, decane, dodecane and octadecane), esters (for example, ethyl acetate, methyl propionate and methyl phthalate), ethers (for example, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl butyl ether, and anisole), and the like can be listed. Mixtures of the aforementioned compounds may be also used. The containing amount of the aforementioned compound (α) is 0.0001 to 10% by weight. Particularly preferably, it is 0.001 to 2% by weight. The reason is that when the containing amount of the aforementioned compound (α) is too few, its effect is scanty. To the contrary, it does not make sense that the containing amount is too much because the amount of the reaction with the base is limited. The above-mentioned ratio was preferred from such a viewpoint.

Surfactants are added to the aforementioned solution (dispersion) according to a necessity from a viewpoint of adjusting surface tension. For example, nonionic surfactants (for example, nonionic surfactants that are comprised of long-alkyl chains and polyethylene glycol), cationic surfactants (for example, quaternary ammonium salts), or anionic surfactants (for example, organic carboxylate and sulfonate) are employed.

The base is immersed into the aforementioned solution (dispersion). Or, the aforementioned solutions (dispersions) are sprayed onto the base. This allows the aforementioned adhesiveness improver (the aforementioned compound (α): molecular adhesive) to stick to the base surface.

Thereafter, light (ultraviolet rays) is radiated. In particular, only locations in which the aforementioned compound (α) should be bonded to the aforementioned base are irradiated with light. For this, an appropriate pattern mask is used. With the aforementioned ultraviolet ray irradiation, the azide group of the aforementioned compound (α) is dissolved. Dissolution of the azide group allows nitrene to be generated. This nitrene attacks the functional groups (for example, —CH₃, —CH₂—, and —CH<, —CH═CH—) existing on the aforementioned base surface. And, a hydrogen-abstraction radical addition reaction or a radical addition reaction occurs, and the chemical bonding between the aforementioned compound (α) and the base surface is yielded. No chemical bonding occurs in the not-irradiated locations.

UV devices (for example, high-pressure mercury UV lamps, low-pressure mercury UV lamps, fluorescence type UV lamps (short ARC xenon lamps and chemical lamps) and metal halide lamps) are employed for the ultraviolet ray irradiation. And the ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 200 to 450 nm are radiated. When the light intensity of irradiation is too few, the reaction hardly progresses. To the contrary, when the light intensity of irradiation is too much, there is an anxiety over deterioration in the base. Thus, the preferable light intensity of irradiation (wavelength 254 nm) is 1 mJ/m² to 5 J/m². More preferably, it is 5 mJ/m² to 1 J/m².

When the base is complicatedly shaped, so as to uniformly irradiating the base with UV, use of reflection plates is effective. As the reflection plates, for example, mirrors, surface-polished metal foil, Al mirror surface foil, SUS mirror surface foil and silver plating mirror surface plates can be listed. Shape, size and materials of the reflection plate, and the like are appropriately selected from a viewpoint of reflection efficiency.

The aforementioned base subjected to the ultraviolet ray irradiation is treated with water. For example, it is immersed into water. Water is preferably an acid aqueous solution or an alkaline aqueous solution.

After the ultrasonic washing, the above substrate was immersed (temperature: 20° C. and time: five minutes) in an ethanol solution (concentration: 2 mmol) of the compound TE-DAZ. After the substrate was lifted up, it was dried.

[Step (W)]

After the step (X), the aforementioned substrate was irradiated with the ultraviolet rays. At the moment of this ultraviolet ray irradiation, for example, the mask with a predetermined pattern was employed so as to comply with a wiring pattern. The ultraviolet ray irradiation device is a high-pressure mercury lamp (EYEMINIGRANTAGE made by EYE GRAPHICS CO. Ltd., output: 2 kw, irradiation energy: 30 mJ/cm²). After the aforementioned ultraviolet ray irradiation, the aforementioned substrate was washed with ethanol.

[Step (Y)]

After the aforementioned step (W), the aforementioned substrate was immersed (temperature: 25° C. and time: one minute) in a catalyst treatment solution (NP-8; 150 ml/L made by C. Uemura & CO. Ltd. and HCL; 150 ml/L). With this, the surface was impregnated with the Pd—Sn catalyst. This substrate impregnated with the Pd—Sn catalyst was immersed (temperature: 33° C. and time: 20 minutes) in an electroless copper plating bath (SULCUP PSY-1A made by C. Uemura & CO.; 100 ml/L, SULCUP PSY-1B made by C. Uemura & CO.; 55 ml/L, and 18.5% formalin solution: 20 ml/L). With this, the Cu plating film having a thickness of 0.2 μm was formed on the surface.

Example 2

The steps were taken in accordance with the aforementioned example 1. That is, in the aforementioned example 1, the steps were taken likewise except that BTE-DAZ was employed instead of TE-DAZ.

Example 3

The steps were taken in accordance with the aforementioned example 1. That is, in the aforementioned example 1, the steps were taken likewise except that TE-MAZ was employed instead of TE-DAZ.

Comparative Example 1

The steps were taken in accordance with the aforementioned example 1. That is, in the aforementioned example 1, the steps were taken likewise except that TE-ASH (azide sulfonate hexyl triethoxysilane) was employed instead of TE-DAZ.

[Properties]

The following measurement was performed for samples obtained in the aforementioned examples 1 to 3 and comparative example 1, so a result thereof is shown in Table-1.

Element composites in a surface layer (depth: 8 nm) were measured by an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (Perkin Elmer PHI 5600 ESCA made by ULVAC-PHI CO.)

Contact angles were measured by a contact angle measurement device (Elma-type G-1).

The adhesiveness of the Cu plating was investigated as follows. The aforementioned samples were notched (10 per mm longitudinally/laterally). That is, a total of 100 squares (□) were formed. Adhesive tapes (Scotch clear tape made by Sumitomo 3M Limited) were affixed, and thereafter, were peeled off. The number of pieces peeled at this time was counted.

TABLE 1 Element composition (at %) Contact angle Number of Compound α N1s Si2p (°) peeled tapes Example 1 TE-DAZ 19.1 3.6 36 (84)  0 (100) Example 2 BTE-DAZ 19.0 7.2 25 (82)  0 (100) Example 3 TE-MAZ 9.8 5.1 34 (83)  0 (100) Comparative TE-ASH 4.0 0.0 81 (83) 100 (100) example 1

-   -   Of the numerical values in the contact angle and the number of         peeled tapes, the numerical values outside ( ) are the contact         angle and the number of peeled tapes in the locations irradiated         with the ultraviolet rays, and the numerical values inside ( )         are the contact angle and the number of peeled tapes in the         locations not irradiated with the ultraviolet rays.

It can be seen from Table-1 that by irradiating the substrate to which the compound a has stuck with the ultraviolet rays, the addition reaction occurs between the nitrene generated from the azide group of the compound α, and the C—H group or the C═C group of the resin substrate, and thus, the compound a has been bonded to the surface of the resin substrate. That is, it can be seen that the alkoxysilyl groups exist on the surface of the resin substrate. The ABS resin originally has 4 atom percents of N based on the acrylonitrile. However, any of these examples has a value higher than this numerical value. That is, it can be seen that the triazine ring has been bonded to the surface of the ABS resin.

The contact angle of the resin substrate of which the surface has the compound a bonded hereto is small. However, the contact angle of the locations not irradiated with the ultraviolet rays is large. It can be seen from this that the compound a has been removed by the ethanol washing in the locations not irradiated with the ultraviolet rays.

With the electroless plating, the Cu film is formed on the substrate surface. The adhesive strength of this Cu plating film is high in the locations in which the compound a has been bonded to the resin substrate with the ultraviolet ray irradiation.

It can be seen from this that the technology of these examples is preferredly employed for design (decorative) products for automobiles, construction materials and daily necessaries, and for the circuit substrates by the semi-additive technique. Needless to say, it is understood that the technology of these examples can be used for products other than these.

It is understood that the adhesive strength of the Cu plating film of these examples is very large. Thus, the technology of these examples is preferredly employed for design (decorative) products for automobiles, construction materials and daily necessaries, and for the circuit substrates by the semi-additive technique.
